Max Articles per Query

maxArticles

Optional

Maximum number of articles to collect per search query. Higher values find more coverage but take longer (each article requires URL resolution and snippet fetch). Start with 10-30 for testing; Google News typically returns 50-100 unique results per query before repetition.

timeRange

Optional

Freshness window for Google News results. 'Past hour' for breaking-news monitoring; 'Past 24 hours' (default) for daily briefings; 'Past week' for weekly roundups or trending topics; 'Past month' for broader coverage. Shorter windows return fresher but fewer articles.

Resolve Article URLs & Fetch Snippets

fetchArticleSnippets

Optional

Resolves each article's Google News redirect URL to the actual publisher URL and fetches a short content snippet. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED - without this, the url field is a Google News redirect (not directly usable). Adds ~5-15 seconds to the run. Disable only if you want raw/unresolved output for speed.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Optional

Generate an AI-powered executive briefing from the collected articles. Requires an API key for your chosen LLM provider. (Legacy alias: enableAiBriefing still accepted.)

Watch Interval (minutes)

watchIntervalMinutes

Optional

LIVE WATCH MODE: minutes to wait between scans. Leave at 0 (default) for a one-shot run. Set to 15-60 for real-time news monitoring - the Actor stays alive, re-queries Google News every N minutes, and pushes only newly-seen articles (deduped by Google News GUID). Recommended pairing: timeRange='1h' + watchIntervalMinutes=15 for crisis / PR-war-room monitoring. Minimum 1, maximum 1440 (24h).

Type:integer

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum:4320

Default:0

AI Briefing Regen Threshold

briefingRegenThreshold

Optional

WATCH MODE ONLY: minimum number of NEW articles in an iteration before the AI briefing is regenerated. Separates always-on scrape cost ($0.002/article) from briefing cost ($0.05/briefing) - only pay for a new briefing when the story actually moves. Default 3. Set to 1 to regenerate every iteration. Ignored in one-shot mode; first iteration always runs the briefing if enableAiAnalysis is true.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:50

Default:3

Proxy Configuration

proxyConfiguration

Optional

Proxy settings. Google News RSS works fine with default datacenter proxy; switch to RESIDENTIAL only if you hit blocks.
